Full Description

Given
the current situation in Wales, 'Who Cares About Wales?' is a pertinent
question. Wales has the highest rates of child poverty in the UK, creaking
infrastructure (c.6.5% of Welsh railways are electrified, compared to c.25% in
Scotland and 100% in south-east England), and the UK's highest rates of
long-term limiting illness. Devolution has left Wales as 'no longer
Westminster's problem', but successive Labour Welsh Governments - unchallenged
for power for 25 years - have had neither the tools nor the talent to truly
tackle the huge issues Wales faces. Wales has had control of its own health and
education systems for over two decades, so why are things getting worse and why
is everyone not up in arms?

   'Who Cares About Wales?' forensically
investigates and spotlights the ways in which Wales has been short-changed over
the years, and how the current set-up leaves its people condemned in perpetuity
to the lowest standards of living in Britain. The book aims to serve as a
rallying cry to the people who call Cymru home: if history has shown us
anything, it is that no one else is going to proactively try and fix Wales'
problems. The conversation needs to change if we are to avoid being doomed to
the status quo as a third-class nation within the UK.

   This book does not advocate independence,
devolution or abolishing the Senedd, it simply points out how the current
situation is failing Wales and calls upon those who live here to demand and
expect better. The aim is to inform and drive the conversation in a direction
that will force those in power to think harder about how things can be improved
for the people of Wales: a better-informed public is one that can hold elected
representatives of all stripes to account.

   In-depth yet accessible review of the
current way in which Wales is funded and run, complete with historical context,
by probably the most respected political journalist in Wales, honoured year
after year at awards ceremonies both in Wales and the wider UK for his
investigative journalism.
